The Sabers high school softball 2016 campaign approaches its end. The Sabers play in the season-ending WJAA tournament at Marist Brothers International School in Kobe, May 13-14. Good luck to Coach Hirai, Coach Hikosaka, and the Sabers teams - both varsity and junior varsity.
Prior to the WJAA tourney, this past Golden Week Saturday, May 7, Coach Hirai and Coach Hikosaka hosted the annual OG game on the Sabers field, a fun, friendly game between the current players and several Sabers graduates. Though "OG" stands for "old girls," the local term used for graduates, the former Sabers softball players are all young women now, some with their own small children (whom we like to call "Future Sabers"). It was a fun day of softball, a great way to maintain links between the graduates and the school.
